What does Nordic Cedar smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Voters place it mostly in leisure and daily wear, with some choosing it for evenings. Being unisex, it doesn't lean toward either gender.
Cardamom opens it with a spicy, bright touch. In the heart, patchouli and cedarwood form an earthy, woody base, with the fresh green feel staying on top of it. Amber and musk soften the dry-down. Maya Njie Vanilj and Karakash Silver Breath have a similar profile.
